I think everything is already in the 2.26 Depreciated section. Â This
was done when the original patch to remove libnss_compat was made.
These changes are just dealing with the fact that that patch was
incomplete.
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2017-08/msg00010.html
* The NIS(+) name service modules, libnss_nis, libnss_nisplus, and
 libnss_compat, are deprecated, and will not be built or installed by
 default.
 The NIS(+) support library, libnsl, is also deprecated.  By default, a
 compatibility shared library will be built and installed, but not headers
 or development libraries. Only a few NIS-related programs require this
 library.  (In particular, the GNU C Library has never required programs
 that use 'gethostbyname' to be linked with libnsl.)
 Replacement implementations based on TIRPC, which additionally support
 IPv6, are available from <https://github.com/thkukuk/>.  The configure
 option --enable-obsolete-nsl will cause libnsl's headers, and the NIS(+)
 name service modules, to be built and installed.
